Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver: Okay so the main gimmick about these games, apart from mad nostalgia props (being DS remakes of the first Pokemon generation I played,) is that you have the number 1 Pokemon in your party walking behind you at almost all times. You can turn around and talk to it too. They had a lot of fun with this feature, but it's oddly hard to find because you'll usually get a few generic messages. I was standing next to the pool in Misty's gym though, and saw "Is it doing warm-up exercises?"

Persona 3 FES: If your teammates get critical hits sometimes they'll compliment or encourage each other. This is pretty generic for the most part but you do have a party member who is a dog, so it's possible to hear "Good boy! You deserve a treat!"

Metro Last Light gives you the Developer Map, which basically just lets you dick around in ways that you couldn't during typical play. Want to try every weapon in the game? Here's a firing range. Want to check out the gross monsters in detail? Here's a gallery full of them. Eager to relive the glory days of monster infighting? There's an arena where you can set up brawls (this is a little disappointing though because the selection is limited.)

Persona 3 FES: Aigis lost a little something in her transition from quirky sidekick to player character for "The Answer" extra campaign, but her amusingly weird running animation is even better when you're steering her around directly rather than having her follow you.

biosterous posted:It's a shame the story is balls, but the gameplay definitely makes up for it. Also the co-op campaign is tons of fun. The co-op campaign is basically unfinished but it is pretty good fun regardless. Every now and again some of the banter actually gets a smile out of me - if you revive Leonard after he's downed sometimes he'll say something like "it was just a leg cramp."

Metro Last Light: That phone call in the Khan section. "pick it up Artyom. I think it's for you!" So out of place, it shouldn't work at all, but I kind of like it, as a signal that the game is now on the way to Crazytown for the next level.

Right after you hear an obscenity-laced tirade that Harlan left on Aristide's phone, you hear a message that starts "well, what I think Harlan was trying to say was…" StandardVC10 has a new favorite as of 22:51 on Oct 8, 2014 |

Fallout: New Vegas: At the Mojave outpost, there's a series of wood planks up to the roof of the barracks building where you can meet a quest giving NPC named Ranger Ghost. When you first talk to her she'll typically remark "Hmm, heard your footsteps on the planks coming up." That had been what I heard in my first however-many playthroughs of the game. But this time, my character had a higher than usual stealth stat, and she instead remarked with some admiration that I could move quietly and that she didn't hear me on my way to the roof of the building. Even after playing well over 1000 hours of New Vegas, I had no idea that alternate dialog existed.

QuietLion posted:I've been trying out Metro 2033 Redux and I've been loving the fact that I'm able to retrieve throwing knives since they're somewhat scarce. I've been loving even more that the creators put a reflective green strip on the handles of the knives, making it simple to find them in the darkness. Metro 2033 (non-Redux) had throwing knives that tended to bounce off enemy equipment (since all of their armor plates and spare clips hanging off their clothes were fully modeled.) Metro: Last Light's throwing knives don't do this, and are so deadly that they make silenced weapons essentially redundant save for shooting out lights. I feel like they could have found some kind of middle ground between those two extremes, but hey, I'll enjoy being a goddamn ninja in the meantime.

One of the enemies from Persona Q (carrying over from 3 and 4) is a Hulk Hogan looking dude wearing nothing but a speedo. Sometimes when you enter combat with one Mitsuru will say "He's practically naked! THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!"

While we're on Resident Evil 4, there's a jump-scare towards the end where a burning Ganado runs at you from inside a furnace. Afterwards, you'll get the option to examine the furnace, where Leon will wonder "what was he doing in there?"

I just started playing Pokemon Omega Ruby and in the first big city, you can go in a building where an "Ace Trainer" give you an item called the Float Stone, saying you probably can't use it as well as he can. What the Float Stone does is make the Pokemon holding it weigh less for the purposes of attacks that do damage based on the Pokemon's weight. So when you go into the next room and come back in, the Ace Trainer has been replaced by a much thicker and more heavyset Hiker, who wonders why he's gained all this weight suddenly.

Lord Lambeth posted:That's a source engine thing, isn't it? Not exclusive to Black Mesa. Not really. There are some places in the original Goldsrc Half-Life where a crouch-jump is required, but nowhere in HL2 or Portal. (This was one aspect of Black Mesa that I wasn't really able to fix with .cfg changes. I did increase the Marines' reaction times slightly, increased the headshot damage multiplier, and increased the MP5 damage a bit, so you can take them on with a weapon besides the .357 magnum.)
